Sundays Without Him: A Widow's Heartfelt Story of Addiction and Loss

Unfortunately, addiction won, but the ripple will stop at the loss of my husband. I cannot deal with addiction still running my life, and unfortunately it still does because I'm a new widow.
Imagine waking up every Sunday with a gaping hole in your heart. That's the reality for the host of 'A Widow's Journey Through Addiction,' who lost her husband to the grip of addiction. In this deeply personal episode, she bares her soul, sharing the raw emotions of grief, anger, and PTSD that have become her unwelcome companions.
She doesn't sugarcoat the pain or frustration but instead uses her story to shine a light on the often-overlooked ripple effects of addiction on those left behind. Through her audio diary, you'll get an intimate look at how addiction can tear families apart and leave loved ones grappling with unimaginable loss. Yet, amid the sorrow, there's a message of resilience and the importance of community support.
She speaks candidly about the struggle to reclaim her life from the clutches of grief and the small but significant steps she takes each day to move forward. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that while addiction can cause profound pain, there's strength to be found in sharing our stories and leaning on each other for support. It's a must-listen for anyone touched by addiction, offering both solace and a call to action.
